The Arab world's first nuclear plant in Barakah, UAE at 1400 MW goes critical. Built with help from South Korea, once all 4 reactors are up and running, the 5600 MW project will generate a fourth of UAE's power requirements. BBC report on Barakah UAE is making a serious push towards science and tec...

The massive explosion in an area which is close to dense population centres. As of now it seems that this wa...

The LCHs are sniffing the air over the Indus.... Sir you made my day- week- month. Hopefully now we will see orders. In hundreds.

Cain- ji, my contention is based on holding the ground. This is not Uri surgical strike. But practically holding ground. I assumed things very favorably. Assuming that we eliminate half of Pak forces we would still have 12500 odd personnel to subdue who will have a chance to regroup and play spoil ...

I am saying if the Chinese opt for a shooting war, the terrain in Ladakh and J&K does not allow a 2 front offensive from Pakis and the Chinese at the same time. Pakis can do something only further south through the IB. That means we might have some troops tied up in the west to defend and focus...

Slightly OT and longish post (Part II) Alert ON. Ok, now that we have established the conditions under which an airborne assault on GB is likely to be the best way to take back the region short of going through the whole gamut of taking over all of POK, a much more humongous exercise, let’s see wha...

Sir, it's not possible for Pakistan to take away Ladakh through a land grab. Salami slicing/ "aman ka tamasha" accompanied by our naivette, yes. I am not clear about what you mean buy the last two sentences. Mind elaborating a little? I am saying if the Chinese opt for a shooting war, the...

It's not that I am saying that liberation of Tibet or GB will be impossible. A $10 trillion economy can make many things,which seem fanciful today, come within our grasp.

Mukesh.Kumar

Mukeshji, thank you for the detailed posts and your perspective. I will try to address the main points therein: My posts regarding India's GB options had three main objectives: 1. Take over the regions if possible, if not 2. Take over key nodes if possible, if not 3. Ensure that TSP-Chicom access t...

Thank you sir for putting in a few lines what took me three long posts to convey. It's not that I am saying that liberation of Tibet or GB will be impossible. A $10 trillion economy can make many things,which seem fanciful today, come within our grasp. As long as there is realism and planning. But ...

Mukesh.Kumar

Mukesh Ji very good writeup on the logistics required to take over GB. The key take away from your post is that it is impossible for the Pakis to do the reverse. So then the question comes how a two-front war will succeed if the objective is to take over Ladakh or J&K for that matter. It seems ...

Now, that we are over that, let’s figure out how this can be worked out: .......... Appreciate questions for further analysis and debate[/i] Mukesh ji, I'm glad you posted this.

Is it that impossible for India to impose an nfz in Pok? They have just about 5 brigades in GB. Without air cover, they'll be hard-pressed. There are roads from kargil to skardu to gilgit. If we have air cover, can't they be plied by Indian units? Not too different from say a tangail airdrop.... Sl...

Some rambling thoughts, by no means conclusive. It just reflects my dilemma... ....
